Chapter 825


    The sounds in the room stopped, and the whole world became serene. Ro must have prepared


    something else after the audio and the projection but it was never gonna happen after what did


    happen today.


    He should have given the flowers to the deliveryman in advance, but he didn''t expect such a thing


    toe out of nowhere. He didn''t have time to withdraw the delivery and it was sent to her.


    The room suddenly became quiet. If Reba had any doubts about what Ro said, they were all


    gone by now.


    If he was going to lie to her, he really didn''t need to tell her these. He even told her how he wanted


    to get the contract in the first ce.


    Reba was seated on the ground covered in white rose petals. She leaned against the wall with


    her ears full of Ro''s voice.


    She only knew that he was born in the Hawkins family, but she didn''t know his real-life story. At this


    moment, Reba felt that she couldn''t begin to hate him anymore, especially when she thought of


    the devastated expression on his face when he


    left.


    She stayed alone in that house for a long time. Theyout of the house was arranged ording to


    her preferences. He really wanted to have a home with her, but she knocked his hopes out and


    shattered them into pieces.


    Only after returning to thepany did Ro remember what he had arranged before. He called


    the deliverypany to cancel the order he had ced.


    "I''m sorry, sir. The intern courier has already sent your order in advance. He should have handed it


    to thedy half an hour ago."


    "Alright then." Ro had no choice but to give a wry smile. Whatever was in that box was probably


    thrown to a dumpster by now, given that he was nothing but a viin in her eyes by now.


    On the other side, Tracey was thrilled about getting the contract, so she specially invited Adam to


    have lunch.


    There were a few times when Adam wanted to tell her the truth. In the end, he thought that in order


    to affect her mind, he would tell her after she became the family''s head.


    During lunch, Tracey had always been in high spirits. Especially when she thought of Ro and the


    Second Elder''s expressions back at the conference room, she felt as if she had a mouthful of candy,


    feeling dizzily overwhelmed by happiness.


    "You know there''s a pretty exaggerated smug on your face, right?" Adam said with a smile when he


    saw her happy face.


    "To tell you the truth, this deal is very important to me. It''s really a huge load off of me." Tracey said


    in relief.


    "As long as you are happy." Adam looked at her tenderly as usual. Every time Tracey saw the


    gentleness as he looked at her, her heart would be as if pumped up by gasoline, beating wildly.


    After this whole thing, she had to keep a distance from him. Previously, it was for the project, and in


    the future, she could no longer find any other excuses to get close to him.


    Tracey was very clear that if she continued to get in touch with him, it was very likely that she would


    really fall in love with him. Maybe she had already fallen for him but she could not allow that.


    No matter how much she liked this man, she couldn''t do anything that would hurt the baby''s father.


    Although Tracey didn''t know what happened to him, why didn''t he show up?


    Did he leave because she chose the family over him?


    Tracey thought of many reasons in her mind. Adam obviously found that she was distracted. "A


    penny for your thoughts?"


    "No, I was not... I..." Tracey hurriedly shook her head. How could she have the nerve to tell Adam


    that she was thinking about the child''s father?


    "You barely sleptst night, did you? You don''t need to go back to thepany today. Go home and


    have a good rest first." Adam knew that pregnant women tended to have ever- changing emotions


    and the actual physical burden so he didn''t find it peculiar.


    "Right, sure." Tracey could officially be the family head after receiving the project,pletely


    changing the current situation of thepany and family.


    During this period of time, although she temporarily took over her mother''s position, the most


    important part of thepany was still Ro''s hands. As the president, she didn''t have much real


    power as if she were a puppet dancing on a string in someone else''s hands. What she had to do


    now was to make that situatione to an absolute end.


    The Great Elder had already summoned the whole family for a meeting. She only wanted to have a


    good sleep today. The meeting was set to be held at 8 a.m. on the next day''s morning.


    Adam sent Tracey back to the vi. Before getting off the car, Tracey politely said goodbye to him.


    This day was a life-changer for many people. The whole family had known the fact that Tracey had


    gotten the contract.


    With his career plummeting and his love lost, Ro sat in his room from dusk to dawn sleeplessly.


    It was not until the servants came to urge him that he remembered he needed to be at the meeting.


    All was lost to him. Ro walked into the conference room calmly. He had thought that his mood


    would be veryplicated. After all, he had failed and his dream had been shattered. His life would


    return to its original point, like the second before the cosmo formed itself, there was nothing, truly


    nothing but infinite darkness and void.


    On the other hand, the burden on his shoulder could also be unloaded. He didn''t have to fight for


    anything anymore. Life would be much less consuming for him and it even surprised him that he


    coulde to face it all in such aposed manner.


    It was all thanks to Reba. She let Ro know how despicable it was to y others'' true


    emotions just to achieve his own goal.


    He felt like his heart was being peeled off inch by inch by a rusty shiver held in an amateur


    executioner''s hand, the pain was dull and slow, reminding him this was the price he had to pay for


    what he had down.


    Tracey''s spirit was totally different from that of Ro. After going back yesterday, Ro was


    bombarded by the Second Elder. Ro didn''t even utter a single syble as the Second Elder was


    doing so.


    The words the Second Elder spat out were cruel and merciless, waking Ro up from his dream, a


    dream where he thought the Second Elder was a man who deserved his respect. It was also then


    that Ro realized he was nothing but a pawn in a chess game he was not even qualified to


    participate in.


    It turned out that everything was fake, his family and his love alike.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Tracey felt strange when he saw Ro''s gloomy face. Ro was not one to dwell on a lost


    contract in her eyes.


    It was the exact same meeting room and the attendants were also the same people. The only thing


    different was the expression on the Second Elder''s face.


    At this moment, he lowered his head and seemed quite a little listless. As for the Great Elder, unlike


    others would have expected, was not gloating but was rather calm. The moment Tracey came into


    the room, everyone was hushed.


    "Good morning, everyone." Tracey greeted. The people present did not dare to look down on


    Tracey like they had done the first time. All of them looked serious and did not dare to make even a


    sound."


    "Greetings." Someone muttered and the others echoed.


    "I believe you all, hopefully, know why you have all been summoned. What you came here to bear


    witness tost time hase to a doubtless conclusion, that is, the mission set by me and the


    Second Elder has beenpletely by Tracey. ording to what we agreed uponst time, she will


    now be inaugurated as the head of the family. Any objections?"
